In 2024, Brown University announced they are giving 255 acres to a preservation trust established by members of the Pokanoket Tribe.

"King Philip's Chair," a rocky ledge on the mountain, was a lookout site for enemy ships on Mount Hope Bay.

The site where Captain Benjamin Church's men killed King Philip in 1676 is located in nearby Misery Swamp.

Elizabeth and her husband Isaac built a 2+1⁄2-story gambrel roof home, (this house is still part of the farm today).

The buildings and grounds are rented for events and a number of community and children's programs are offered.
